'Don't be fooled by the rocks that I've got, I'm still Benny from the block'
I like music. It tickles the soul like a puppy licking your feet while you sleep on the couch. Stupid dog. I play this music to lots of dancing people. Sometimes I play it to few dancing people but they’re dancing all the same. I have been known to cart my heavy box of records all over town. Mine and yours. It used to hurt my shoulder but not so much anymore as I use Serato and carrying a laptop ain't no thang. I carry my dainty little laptop case and ginger Serato control records into Art School, Sub Club and Ivy in Glasgow on the regular. Many people have been captivated by my dazzling array of track suit tops but better yet they’ve seen fit to ask me to wear them while playing my favourite songs to pretty girls in exotic locations. Recent months have seen my passport stamped in Montreal, Cape Town, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Johannesburg, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Vienna, Graz, Vigo, Zaragoza, Ljubljana, Lake of Stars in Malawi, Rockness 2008 in Inverness, The Big Chill Festival 2008, Bestival 2007 & 2008 on the Isle of Wight, Connect Festival 2008 in Inverary, Zagreb, London, Liverpool, Sheffield, Derry, Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, Newcastle, Aberdeen, Woolacombe, Belfast, Cardiff, Swansea and the VIP opening of the Middlesbrough Institute Of Modern Art.
This year sees me with another ever filling diary so sneakers at the ready cos I’m coming to your town soon!
I’m lucky enough to have found favour with Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel crew and have had many a 3 deck Boom Monk work out aired on their weekly radio show. It’s broadcast in 30 countries worldwide as well as on the old information super highway so get listening. In 2006 I kicked the arse out of Mr Scruff, Kid Koala, MANDY, James Holden, Cut Chemist, DJ Format, Hexstatic and the rest as the label and the show's listeners voted me runner up in their ‘Best Of 2006’ Poll. I was only beaten by cut n paste in your face legend Steinski but he used Ableton for his and we all know that’s cheating. In 2007 I came in 3rd which is not bad at all. In 2008 I had the honour of being made an official Solid Steel and Ninja Tune DJ. Watch out Strictly Kev. I'm coming for ya!
I also stutter confused one way dialogue into a microphone while showing off my latest white labels on behalf of budding maverick broadcasters Subcity Radio and Radio Magnetic.
It's fun and not quite a real job. Beat that for a living.
Word down ben wats happening got some new projects on the move and gonna upload next week will be sure to send u some of the newer material SEDGE WARBLER DANk & DISCo hit u up later good bye
Hey there funny boy..how you doing? I was downloading complete podcast from solid steel and found mix from you and i'm listening to it just now and I'm loving it!!!I needed some energy to work on my graphics and it works very well:) I saw that you're going to Sierre again for new gig,hopefully you got early flight to see all the beauty of Switzerland,I reckon it will be magic in winter too...It's actaully around my bday,so there's chance I'll see you there...it would be nice... Take care Sarka
Oh,that's shame...sorry to hear that,what was it that you missed?Hell yeah,you are funny:)That was the funniest thing,that you seemed always so surprised when you said something funny...But the set was not funny at all,i really liked it.I was listening to few others you have on your Myspace and really liked some of them,not all of them:P
Easy m8! I was in Bristol on Friday and saw a poster of a gig you were doing. I just checked your future events list and you're busy man, well done. I hope all has been good for you these past few years & keep up the good work.
In a moment of real (and surprising) concern I thought DJ Fannyjam had been removed from your list of influences. Then I did a ctrl + f and found her. YES!x
oh noo! really, shame on me! distractive competition these other clubs... well, then i guess i..ll just have to wait...next time open eyes for da swell ;)
